*** Pendiente de traducción *** In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
iio: adc: ad_sigma_delta: fix clear_pending_event for registerless devices<br />
<br />
ad_sigma_delta_clear_pending_event() falls through to the status register<br />
read path for devices with has_registers = false and no rdy_gpiod. For<br />
such devices, ad_sd_read_reg() skips the address byte entirely and clocks<br />
raw MISO bytes with no address phase — making it byte-for-byte identical<br />
to reading conversion data. If a pending conversion result is present,<br />
this partially consumes it and corrupts the data stream for the subsequent<br />
ad_sd_read_reg() call in ad_sigma_delta_single_conversion().<br />
<br />
Furthermore, with num_resetclks = 0 on these devices, data_read_len<br />
evaluates to 0. If the clocked byte has bit 7 clear, pending_event is set<br />
and the code attempts memset(data + 2, 0xff, 0 - 1), overflowing to<br />
SIZE_MAX and corrupting the heap.<br />
<br />
Fix by returning 0 immediately when neither rdy_gpiod nor has_registers<br />
is set. This is safe for all current registerless devices: ad7191 and<br />
ad7780 (with powerdown GPIO) are reset between conversions by CS<br />
deassertion, so there is no stale result to drain; ad7780 (without<br />
powerdown GPIO) and max11205 are continuously-converting and cycle ~DRDY<br />
at the output data rate regardless of whether the previous result was<br />
read, so the next falling edge fires naturally.<br />
<br />
A future registerless device that holds ~DRDY asserted until data is read<br />
would be broken by this early return and would require either<br />
num_resetclks set or a rdy-gpio.<br />
<br />
The same heap corruption is reachable on any device with rdy_gpiod set<br />
but num_resetclks = 0: if the GPIO indicates a pending event, the drain<br />
path executes memset(data + 2, 0xff, 0 - 1) regardless of has_registers.<br />
Add an explicit data_read_len == 0 guard after the pending event check;<br />
the stale result is then consumed by the first ad_sd_read_reg() call in<br />
ad_sigma_delta_single_conversion().
